Metric and customary systems are both systems of measurement used to quantify physical quantities such as length, weight, and volume. They both have units for common measurements like meters for length and kilograms for weight. However, they differ in the specific units used and their conversion factors.

The metric system uses newtons for basic force unit and kg for the basic mass unit. The U. S. Customary System uses the lb for the basic force unit and slugs for the basic mass unit.
